In Region 1-B Tournament Finals

Playing with the handicap of
;heir top-scorer not being able to
play and a valuable substitute
I4o normally plays over half a
game and scores an average of
10 points, the Port St. Joe
Sharks played their hearts out
np the Region 1-B tournament

The Sharks came out running
Friday night and continued to

The Sharks had only one cold
period in the game and that

ond period, when the Black Cats
cam' within two. But Langston
found the range #gain and start-
ed opening up. Bqlin and Macom-
ber took up the scoring habit
again and the Sharks were off

left. ,
SThe Sharks began to stall,
then and put in 'their reserves

Appointment of Middlemas

The Gulf County Commission
adopted a resolution Tuesday in
their regular meeting, opposing
the rumored appointment of for-
mer representative John Robert
Middlemas to the chairmanship

lution, to be prepared this week
by their attorney, William J.
Rish by unanimous agreement.
Rish was' not present at Tues-
day's meeting because he had a
case being tried in court.
The move came about when
the Board wanted to dig a
drain ditch from a road on St.
Joseph's Peninsula to empty in
- St. Joseph's Bay.

County consultant Max W.
Kilbourn spoke up and said,
"You can't even spill a teaspoon
of water in the bay over there
because it is included in the
aquatic preserve program of the
State of Florida."
Commissioner Leo Kennedy
then spoke up and said, "Yes
and our former representative
was one of the instigators of
that move." Kennedy then said
he' had read where Middlemas
was being considered for the
chairmanship of the Air and Wa-
ter Pollution Control Commis-
sion to replace Nat Reed who is
resigning. ."I think we should
oppose his nomination", Ken-
nedy said, because I think he is
too strict in his conservation
thinking".
The Board all agreed to the
move and authorized the resolu-
tion which they plan to urge
other counties to adopt.
Other Business
The Board received a note
from Sheriff B. E. Parker relat-
ing to request by Henry Lilius
for a pistol permit. Parker's note
said the law prohibits carrying
concealed weapons, 'but there
was no law against carrying a
gun in a car glove compartment,
which he, Parker, felt would be
sufficient for Lilius' purpose.
The Board received a resolu-
tion from Bay County asking for
Gulf's support in requesting that
State Road 22 be continued over
the Apalachicola River to Perry.
The Board agreed to offer its
support.
Commissioner Kennedy- asked-
that the County release its first
claim on the old- lighthouse pro-
perty at Beacon Hill in favor, of
Gulf Coast Community College.
The Board agreed to release
their first claim on the 40 acres.
A request -was, presented for
the county to lease a 10 acre site
in Highland View for the citi-
zens of that area to develop as
a recreation site. The Board de-
cided not to ask for a lease in
the county's name, but agreed to
help in whatever way they could
in securing the lease for a citi-
zen's group and development of
the area.
The Board members shucked
out $20.00 each to donate to the
Gulf Coast Community College
basketball team for expenses to
the national tournament

Mrs. Mary Dean

Taken by Death

Mrs. Mary Coleman Dean, age
75, passed away at Municipal
Hospital Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Dean was a long time resident
of Port St. Joe and Highland,

She is survived by four daugh-
ters, Mrs. Ralph Sanders of Pan-

was in the family plot of Hos-
ford Cemetery.
Services were under the direc-
tion of Comforter Funeral Home.

Cancer Society's 1971 fund rais-
ing Crusade which begins April
first.
The appointment was announ-
ced by Wes Thompson, Gulf
County Chairman, who said that
Mrs. Sullivan had accepted the
position "because of a deep un-
derstanding that the fig h t
against cancer must not lose mo-
mentum but must be speeded
up."
Mrs. Sullivan, in accepting the
position in this area said that
"last year insufficient appropria-
tions hampered important cancer
research programs. The Society
was overwhelmed with requests
for grants, many of which merit-
ed scientific support but could
not be funded because of a lack
of money. While ACS increased
its research expenditures, some
promising developments in the
search for the causes and treat-
ment of various types of cancers
are marking time."
Mrs. Sullivan brings to the
post an energetic commitment to
the fight against cancer. She was
last year's door-to-door chairman
and feels that Gulf County can
top last year's total under the
leadership of Mrs. Norris Dan-
iels, door-to-door chairman for

this crusade.
Although a recent Gallup stu-
dy showed a gradual increase in
the percentage of Americans who
get medical check-ups (from 55
percent in 1961 to 62 percent
in 1970); it also indicated a slow-
ing down in the rate of increase
of those who went for specific
cancer tests. For most of these
tests-skin, proctoscopy, breast
examinations and Pap smears-
there were two to five percent-
age point increases from 1963 ot
1970, Mrs. Sullivan said.
"We hope to persuade the hard
core of resisters to join the ranks
of the "checked-up" this year.
Today there are 1.5 million
Americans alive and cured of
cancer. We hope to wipe out can-
cer in your life-time," declared
Mrs. Sullivan.
"We shall be urging the peo-
ple of Gulf County to join this
fight to protect themselves
with a check-up and others with
a check to their American Can-
cer Society."
Even if you have only a few
spare hours ot donate to help in

They Had "Heart"

Hardly anyone in Port St. Joe expected the Sharks to
:buckle down and win the Region Championship and go to
the state basketball tournament, after the unfortunate
events of early last week. The loss of much of the team's
"backbone" due to suspension caused the young hopes of
many in town to bog down in the doldrums so far as Port
St Joe's getting to or winning the state championship.
* -.was concerned.
When you get right down to it, not many expected
the team to do much more than-make a good showing
during the regular season this year. There wasn't much
height on the team. 'The nearest thing to "height" were
Jim Belin and Steve Macomber, and they weren't really
"tall" by the basketball definition of the word. But
7 Jim and Steve have teamed up under the basket this year
to just about make this "Shark territory", even against
taller teams. Norris Langston, George Williams, Kloskia
Lowery, Larry Copenhaver and Kendrick Bryant have
regularly kept the Sharks "in the game" against all com-
ers this year. Although they were substitutes, Perry Ad-
kisoni, Billy Quinn and Noah Best have given the Sharks
very respectable bench strength.
The blow that fell early last week, robbing the team
-of much of its strength through suspension seemed to,

let the air out of the balloon. Let us say here, that we do
not believe the circumstances involved in the suspension
to be the regular nature of the boys involved. All have
proved themselves to be good citizens in the past. It is
just the nature of some good boys to get involved in an
adventure, and before they know it, they are entwined
more than they want to be and don't know how to turn
back. This isn't a situation peculiar to young boys either,
many adults also suffer the same problem.
What we want to say is that we greatly admire the
effort put out by the team this past week end in their ef-
forts to win a trip to the State Tournament. After the
misfortune caused by the bad judgment of the few, it was
to the credit of those left on the team that they played
their hearts out Friday and Saturday. With just a little
bit of luck to go with their determination, they would have
earned that coveted trip to Jacksonville, in spite of the
odds against them.
The thing that shows men are emerging from boys
is the determination and drive shown by the team over
the past week end. It shows their mettle. We know the
young men are disappointed, but we think it can safely be
said that the people of this community are proud of the
way they rose to meet a difficult situation.

Governor Reubin Askew's proposed budget of $1.44
billion for the next fiscal year rated headlines in all the
daily papers of the state last week; and well it might.
The budget was the largest ever contemplated for the
state and it starts out over $200 million shy of being fi-
nanced by existing state revenues. This is a pretty healthy
amount to try and raise over and above present taxation
in an unhealthy economy. Of course, it must be raised if
the' budget is to be adopted,, because Florida law prohibits
deficit spending. The state must pay cash.
Y The Governor proposed to raise this extra capital by
taxing" those who can't vote the corporations. There is
also a sly campaign being conducted trying to convince
Sthe people that this tax will "tax those more able to pay"
, iimIating that you and I won't have to dig in our pockets
to make up this $200 million, and of course, this sounds
good to us who have had our pocketbook robbed right
regularly for one tax or another.
But don't you believe all you hear on this matter.
Those who believe this ploy deserve to have to pick up
the $200 million tab, as they surely will. Anybody who

stop and count our change.
If more people would look back
over the last 40 or 50 years to
see what happened in this coun-
try and' the world, they might
be better -able to understand
what is going on today.
A review of newspaper head-
lines from 1910 to 1920 is a good
-- way to look back. And some of
them make interesting reading.
Some examples: "Two Dead.

stock holders by the said five percent are the biggest
dreamers ever!
An extra $200 million in taxes for the state of Flor-
ida, from whatever source it might originally be extracted
will find its way back to your pocket and mine. There is
no way out of this arrangement. The way of business is
simple; the cost of doing business (including taxes) is
added to the cost of the product.
If you think the State of Florida needs to provide
$200 million more in services then you keep still and get
ready to pay the bill. If you don't, let your legislators
know. They have a habit of listening to you more so than
to the Governor or some state department head.

Doesn't this have a familiar

expressions similar today, deal-

Many of the problems that
troubled this nation 50 years ago
are still with us. Then, industrial
development, the automobile and
the airplane were just beginning
to pollute the environment. Pop-
ulation was in its early stages of
explosion. Then, everybody point-
ed with pride to the country's
steady growth and development.
No one realized what it was
leading up to. They could ;not
visualize super highways, smog,
mountains of waste material,
destruction of forests, poisoned
lakes, rivers and streams and a
lack of housing.
Then, the' moon was a long way'
off and nobody was concerned
about reaching it. While there
was poverty and unemployment,
religious, charitable and civic
groups did their best to care for

their own. There was no Social
Security, Medicare or welfare to
turn to.
Are we making the most of our
blessings? You have looked back,

Oil Shippers

Avoiding Ports,

In Florida

Joe Parrott told the Port St
Joe Rotary Club last Thursday
that the new Florida anti oil
spill law which is making the
news so regularly these days re-
quires shippers to show finan-
cial responsibility, have adequate
insurance or post a personal
bond in the amount of $5 mil-
lion to cover any damages from
a possible oil spill in Florida
waters.
"The law applies only to bulk
shipments", Parrott said, "and
does not apply to shipments of
oil in containers, such as bar-
rels". He also pointed out that
the law is putting the small
shipper with just a few barges
and a tug boat or two out of
business insofar as Florida is
concerned. "They can't come up
with the $5 million bond, and
no insurance companies are writ-
ing oil spill insurance in Florida"
he said.
Parrott also noted that another
stringent aspect to Florida's law
is that there is no maximum dam-
age liability amount set. "Feder-
al law holds shippers responsi-
ble up to $14.4 million for dam-
ages and insurance can be pur-
chased on this basis", Parrott
said.
In another instance, federal
law says that spills due to acts
of nature will not be counted
against the 'carrier involved.
Florida law says that "acts of
nature "may be considered" in
assessing .a firm's liability in the
event of an oil spill.
Parrott said that the tough
Florida law has put several Flor-
ida manufacturers in a predica-
ment, since small shippers; who
carry a good deal of the bunker
C oil to Florida from the Texas
fields, refuse to come in Florida
waters, where an accident beyond
the firm's control may cause
their bankruptcy.
Parrott said that many Florida
lawmakers have recognized'that
the state's oil spill law is' entire-
ly too tough and unreasonable.
He said attempts are already un-
derway to change the law in the
April session of the Legislature.
"In the meantime", Parrott
said, "St. Joe Paper Company
faces fuel delivery problems lo-
cally because some of our ship-
pers have already served notice
they will not be delivering any
oil in Florida waters". Parrott
said that the situation is not yet
so acute that the mill will be for-
ced to shut down for lack of fuel
"but it could come to that", he
said.

You take a round glass ball (preferably colored)
about an inch and a half in diameter, with a small hole
drilled through it. Pass a piece of cord about 18 inches
in length through the hole and knot it so it can't slip
back through. Take a second solid glass ball like the
first and pass the other end of the cord through its small
hole and knot the end. Then tie a loop in the middle of
the cord and what do you have? You have a "Kack-
er", of course!
And what is a "Klacker",? you ask. A "Klacker"
is a valuable toy. One can grasp the loop tied in the mid-
dle of the aforementioned piece of cord, with glass balls
at each end; give short up and down jerks and you will
hear a "Klack", "mack", "mack". Doesn't that sound
exciting?

The "Klacker" is the biggest thing to hit the toy
world since the Hula Hoop. Even the Frizbie isn't doing
the land office business the "Klacker" is. But one has to
chase down a Frisbie and a "Klacker" remains in hand at
all times unless you drop it of course,
What ever happened to the top? As far as that goes,
where is the yo-yo today? We can remember when the
mastery of the top and the yo-yo was something to get
excited about. Anyone can shake a "Klacker" up and
down or toss a Frisbie, but throw a top to the ground
and have it take off spinning or spin a yo-yo around the
world is a different thing entirely. Even the Hula Hoop
required some dexterity and of course, it took a fair
amount of applied muscular motion to keep the hoop
hooping.
If two glass balls on the end of a string can capture
the attention of kids think what a long pole about s'"
feet long with about an 18 inch span of spring-like tongue
at the end would do if one named it a "drag racer".
*
While the smaller kids are playing with the Klacker
many of the older boys have adopted a more, grown-up 1
not sophisticated craze. They have the fad of chewing t
bacco. Popular teacher and baseball coach Kesley Col
bert, who hails from the hills of Tennessee where the kid
cut their teeth on a plug of chewing tobacco, has inspired
the boys to take a chaw now and then. especially when

The other day, one of my boys came in the shop to
do some work, displaying sort of a paradox. He had a
package of "Red Man" in one hand and two boxes of ani-
mal crackers in the other. I've heard of chewing tobacco
all of my life. I've known a lot of men who chewed. A
good many baseball players, fishermen and hunters, put
a chaw in their jaw when they begin to indulge in these
activities, but that's the first time I knew chewing tobac- .,
co and animal crackers went together.

CHATTER
By The Florida Power Corporation
Since there are many hunters in
this area, I have heard quite a few
women say they preferred' roasted
duck as an all-time favorite. This
has prompted me to pass on a few
tips on preparing the duck.
ROAST DUCK
Allow at least one pound per
person. Serve with orange glaze.
Roast with a stuffing or not, as
desired. Instead of stuffing, put
inside 2 cored and quartered ap-
ples or one cup of celery leaves.
It is not necessary to truss ducks
as they have short legs and wings.
Place on a rack in an open roast-
ing pan. Roast at 325 degrees F. un-
til tender (about 30 minutes per
pound). Do not baste, since ducks
are fat. Prick in several places so
that some of the fat will drain off.
Turn often to brown evenly. Pour
off the fat as it accumulates.
ORANGE GLAZE
% cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange rind

One third cup brown sugar

A real lawn pest is the sod web-

If the egg and you are beginning to look. at each other with
increasing interest, could be a sign of Spring. But before you
color them (or even after) add a small can of shrimp to your
